I was getting about 3-4 hours with Kingsford original, then mid summer I did the mods for the clamps on the doors and sealed the fire box. That helped a ton. The other thing I would say is that my backyard is kind of a bad wind spot. I get a ton of gusts, but very little consistent breeze to...- buckstuckinmich

Charcoal basket, took about 45 minutes to make once I got the right sheers to cut the metal. I already had the nuts, bolts and washers. It holds 8 lbs of unlit, 8 lbs of lit Kingsford charcoal, and 2 handfuls of wood. Originally I had it taller, but I cut it down a bit so I could fit the grill...- buckstuckinmich

In this one you can see I used a flexible dryer vent so I could tuck it in the back corner instead of straight out taking up grate space. You can also see the 2 other thermos and if you look real close you can see where I place my cheapo tin chaffing pans bought by the dozen at Costco. I use 4...- buckstuckinmich
